i think a man called jesus probably did exist but he was just a man that got elevated to deity status by his followers after he was killed. all of the supernatural aspects were simply made up.
Are you guys talking about Jmmanuel, a reincarnated soul from another planet sent to teach humanity some wisdom or are you talking about fiction of Jesus Christ hmm........
prove he did not exist by taking historical records of the day and showing that there is an absence of reference to him where it should have existed. you might learn something.
Well, one thing is for certain ... you didn't (learn anything that is). Several people have already taken you to school on that one and you continue to claim the same old thing. JB
1. There is no substantiated historical evidence that Jesus was God. This is entirely a matter of faith. 2. Most of the so-called historical evidence of Jesus's existence was composed decades after his death. In terms of primary historical documents (first-hand evidence), evidence is nil.
Actually, even if Jesus did exist, in the end it does not matter, since historical evidence exists that Christianity is based on unwarranted assumptions. Adam and Eve are not historical. The whole creation story, the naming of the animals, and such did not happen. The evidence that humans appeared hundreds of millions of years after life appeared is overwhelming. No Adam and Eve, then therefore no original sin. No original sin, then no need for a Saviour.
even if you can prove a man named jesus existed at that time it does nothing to make the case he was some kind of deity.
My fav fantasy story from the bible is Noah's Ark. 2 of every species of animal, all on one biiiiiig boat. Do Christians ever consider how many species of JUST INSECTS there are? Is there anything more ridiculous? Is it any less fantastical than Santa Claus? Harold
